Hi, Klaas...

The Canon XSi is a very good camera for astrophotography.  It has a number of features that make it good, but the biggest one is called Live View, where you can see on the small screen at the back of the camera precisely what the camera is looking at.  You can zoom in, too, which allows you to properly focus the camera.

If you get this camera, I'd suggest that you go to Andy Blanchards "Astrophotography Nights" at the Observatory on the last Thursday of the month (except for December).  If you want to take great pictures, it helps to learn from a great photographer.

I hope this helps, Klaas.

Roger

Hello Klaus yes I can confirm that the Canon XSI is an excellent astrophotography camera is that is the camera that I use for all of my astrophotography so I give it a whole hearted thumbs up

Hi, Klaas...The Canon XSi is a very good camera for astrophotography.  It has a number of features that make it good, but the biggest one is called Live View, where you can see on the small screen at the back of the camera precisely what the camera is looking at.  You can zoom in, too, which allows you to properly focus the camera.If you get this camera, I'd suggest that you go to Andy Blanchards "Astrophotography Nights" at the Observatory on the last Thursday of the month (except for December).  If you want to take great pictures, it helps to learn from a great photographer.I hope this helps, Klaas.Roger-----Original Message-----From: astronomers on behalf of Klaas DekensSent: Tue 17/11/2015 11:35 PMTo: astronomers at hamiltonrasc.caSubject: Re: RASC Hamilton Pics of less than 24hour old moon Hello Roger this is Klaas hope you are well Im still around ad busy.I wouldlike to ask your advice on a Canon camera Im being offered its a Canonrebel XSIDS126181 I hope Ive given enough to go on,is this a suitablecamera?If you can help thank you.On Fri, Feb 20, 2015 at 1:22 PM, Roger Hill  wrote:> Also, don't forget about this evenings nice photo-op with Venus, Mars and> the Moon!>>> -----Original Message-----> From: astronomers on behalf of Scott Barrie> Sent: Fri 20/02/2015 11:56 AM> To: astronomers at hamiltonrasc.ca> Subject: Re: RASC Hamilton Pics of less than 24hour old moon>>> Thanks, Muhammad (and Murray, Roger and Gary!).>> I used a Nikon D600 with an f4.0 200-400 zoom lens.>> Exposure for both shots was 1/13 sec at f5.6.>> ISO on the wide shot was 2500 and it was shot at 260mm.>> The closer shot was at ISO 1250 and the lens was set to 400mm.>> I did try a variety of different settings. 1/30 sec was slightly sharper> at the expense of increased noise, although I was always surprised at the> amount of detail that could be found in the files.>> Here's one shot a little bit later at 1/30 sec at f4.0, ISO 5000.

Hi Andy,

Thanks so very much for your emails.

Within three hours of our earlier communication I learned -- much to my
intense frustration -- that I have a cast-in-iron conflict on the night of
your upcoming presentation.

Basically, I cannot get out of the other one -- as much as I wish I could.

Therefore, to my regret, I will now not be able to attend your late-November
presentation. 

However, having now had this particular conflict I am aware that for all
future months I may have the exact same conflict, for the last Thursday of
the month.  Therefore, I will have to find a way of trying to extricate
myself from the other one, in such a way as to successfully sit in your
audience.

By way of background on me, I have been "kicking around" with
astrophotography for a bit.    (Long, long time ago, I used to be a news
photographer and have, basically, kept up a serious but low-level interest
in photography.)     I think my first astro pic was Comet Hale-Bopp, about
20 years ago.    Recently, I got my first amateur images of the nebula in
Orion and also of Saturn.  The Saturn pic happened about six weeks ago, when
the planet was painfully low to the horizon ... basically just above my
neighbour's roof.   Not the best angle for these kinds of photos, I am sure.
For that one, I used a Neximage 5 camera, through a Celestron 925.  Registax
software was also part of that equation.   Pretty sure I can see the shadow
of the rings on the planet and then, behind the planet, the shadow of the
planet on the rings.

The nebula image was captured through the same scope, using a Canon EOS T5i.
I got two "acceptable to me" images of the nebula within seconds of each
other, about three or four weeks ago.    ISO was set to 12800 and the
exposures were 4-seconds and 6 seconds.    Not bad for a rookie, I guess,
but the fantastic surprise was that when I looked at the two nebula images,
one of them had a satellite track streaking across one section of it.   All
in all, a very cool coincidence...

Anyhow .... I look forward to meeting you .... eventually.

Best
Jeff Booth

Subject: RASC Hamilton sample fotos from a rookie ...
Message-ID: <006a01d1232d$e1635920$a42a0b60$@cogeco.ca>

Hi again, Andy,

OK, thanks for the request.

I have attached some images to this email.

Now, remember .... I'm just a newbie at this stuff (using cameras with
telescopes and computers, etc.)  ... standing at the beginning of his astro
learning kinda thing ....  

The Saturn image came from a fourth attempt.  First attempt was not much
more than a smear, second better, third better yet, etc.  

The nebula image was much easier ... basically immediately, but had learned
a lot from the let's-try-to-take-a-picture-of-Saturn experience. 

Again, here are the techy details, from an earlier note, on the images...

---------------- snip -------------------------------  


....    Recently, I got my first amateur images of the nebula in Orion and
also of Saturn.  

The Saturn pics happened about six weeks ago, when the planet was painfully
low to the horizon ... basically just above my neighbour's roof.   Not the
best angle for these kinds of photos, I am sure.

For that one, I used a Neximage 5 camera, through a Celestron 925.  Registax
software was also part of that equation.   On Saturn pic #4, I am pretty
sure I can see the shadow of the rings on the planet and then, behind the
planet, the shadow of the planet on the rings.  (I note that the shadow of
the rings DOES NOT show up on all computer screens, but does show up
strongly on my small-screen, liquid crystal smart phone).  

The nebula image was captured through the same scope, but using a Canon EOS
T5i digital camera.   I got two "acceptable to me" images of the nebula
within seconds of each other, about three or four weeks ago, about 5 a.m.
ISO was set to 12800 and the exposures were 4-seconds and 6 seconds.    Not
bad for a rookie, I guess, but the fantastic surprise was that when I looked
at the two nebula images, one of them had what looks like a satellite track
streaking across one section of it.   All in all, a very cool coincidence...

--------------- snip ---------------------------------------

Anyhow ... there they are.  

Made lots of mistakes struggling with everything to get these images (which,
I know, are poor compared to many others) buuuuuut, they are watershed
images for me, as I have never really ever taken images like these, using
the required technology.  (My Comet Hale-Bopp images from the 1990s were
more easily taken, using just a camera, long lens and a good tripod). 

Bottom line here seems to be that every time I try this stuff, the results
get a bit better.  If not, what seems to happen is that I learn what more I
need to learn to get to the next level.  This is what it is all about for
me. 

All very satisfying. 



Cheers
Jeff

I have a great DVD for you to borrow that will show you how to improve that Saturn image. As for M42 great work, photoshop will do wonders.

Cool … all very welcome….

 

Thank you again…

 

Apart from the satellite in the M42 exposure, I was amazed to actually see the colours … never expected that.

As you look at a phase of the moon, you will automatically envision the relative positions of the sun, moon, and Earth that produce this view.

Hi, Klaas...

The Canon XSi is a very good camera for astrophotography.  It has a number of features that make it good, but the biggest one is called Live View, where you can see on the small screen at the back of the camera precisely what the camera is looking at.  You can zoom in, too, which allows you to properly focus the camera.

If you get this camera, I'd suggest that you go to Andy Blanchards "Astrophotography Nights" at the Observatory on the last Thursday of the month (except for December).  If you want to take great pictures, it helps to learn from a great photographer.

I hope this helps, Klaas.

Roger

Hi Andy,

Thanks so very much for your emails.

Within three hours of our earlier communication I learned -- much to my
intense frustration -- that I have a cast-in-iron conflict on the night of
your upcoming presentation.

Basically, I cannot get out of the other one -- as much as I wish I could.

Therefore, to my regret, I will now not be able to attend your late-November
presentation. 

However, having now had this particular conflict I am aware that for all
future months I may have the exact same conflict, for the last Thursday of
the month.  Therefore, I will have to find a way of trying to extricate
myself from the other one, in such a way as to successfully sit in your
audience.

By way of background on me, I have been "kicking around" with
astrophotography for a bit.    (Long, long time ago, I used to be a news
photographer and have, basically, kept up a serious but low-level interest
in photography.)     I think my first astro pic was Comet Hale-Bopp, about
20 years ago.    Recently, I got my first amateur images of the nebula in
Orion and also of Saturn.  The Saturn pic happened about six weeks ago, when
the planet was painfully low to the horizon ... basically just above my
neighbour's roof.   Not the best angle for these kinds of photos, I am sure.
For that one, I used a Neximage 5 camera, through a Celestron 925.  Registax
software was also part of that equation.   Pretty sure I can see the shadow
of the rings on the planet and then, behind the planet, the shadow of the
planet on the rings.

The nebula image was captured through the same scope, using a Canon EOS T5i.
I got two "acceptable to me" images of the nebula within seconds of each
other, about three or four weeks ago.    ISO was set to 12800 and the
exposures were 4-seconds and 6 seconds.    Not bad for a rookie, I guess,
but the fantastic surprise was that when I looked at the two nebula images,
one of them had a satellite track streaking across one section of it.   All
in all, a very cool coincidence...

Anyhow .... I look forward to meeting you .... eventually.

Best
Jeff Booth

Subject: RASC Hamilton sample fotos from a rookie ...
Message-ID: <006a01d1232d$e1635920$a42a0b60$@cogeco.ca>

Hi again, Andy,

OK, thanks for the request.

I have attached some images to this email.

Now, remember .... I'm just a newbie at this stuff (using cameras with
telescopes and computers, etc.)  ... standing at the beginning of his astro
learning kinda thing ....  

The Saturn image came from a fourth attempt.  First attempt was not much
more than a smear, second better, third better yet, etc.  

The nebula image was much easier ... basically immediately, but had learned
a lot from the let's-try-to-take-a-picture-of-Saturn experience. 

Again, here are the techy details, from an earlier note, on the images...

---------------- snip -------------------------------  


....    Recently, I got my first amateur images of the nebula in Orion and
also of Saturn.  

The Saturn pics happened about six weeks ago, when the planet was painfully
low to the horizon ... basically just above my neighbour's roof.   Not the
best angle for these kinds of photos, I am sure.

For that one, I used a Neximage 5 camera, through a Celestron 925.  Registax
software was also part of that equation.   On Saturn pic #4, I am pretty
sure I can see the shadow of the rings on the planet and then, behind the
planet, the shadow of the planet on the rings.  (I note that the shadow of
the rings DOES NOT show up on all computer screens, but does show up
strongly on my small-screen, liquid crystal smart phone).  

The nebula image was captured through the same scope, but using a Canon EOS
T5i digital camera.   I got two "acceptable to me" images of the nebula
within seconds of each other, about three or four weeks ago, about 5 a.m.
ISO was set to 12800 and the exposures were 4-seconds and 6 seconds.    Not
bad for a rookie, I guess, but the fantastic surprise was that when I looked
at the two nebula images, one of them had what looks like a satellite track
streaking across one section of it.   All in all, a very cool coincidence...

--------------- snip ---------------------------------------

Anyhow ... there they are.  

Made lots of mistakes struggling with everything to get these images (which,
I know, are poor compared to many others) buuuuuut, they are watershed
images for me, as I have never really ever taken images like these, using
the required technology.  (My Comet Hale-Bopp images from the 1990s were
more easily taken, using just a camera, long lens and a good tripod). 

Bottom line here seems to be that every time I try this stuff, the results
get a bit better.  If not, what seems to happen is that I learn what more I
need to learn to get to the next level.  This is what it is all about for
me. 

All very satisfying. 



Cheers
Jeff

I have a great DVD for you to borrow that will show you how to improve that Saturn image. As for M42 great work, photoshop will do wonders.

Cool … all very welcome….

 

Thank you again…

 

Apart from the satellite in the M42 exposure, I was amazed to actually see the colours … never expected that.

I have a great DVD for you to borrow that will show you how to improve that Saturn image. As for M42 great work, photoshop will do wonders.

Hi again, Andy,

OK, thanks for the request.

I have attached some images to this email.

Now, remember .... I'm just a newbie at this stuff (using cameras with telescopes and computers, etc.)  ... standing at the beginning of his astro learning kinda thing ....  

The Saturn image came from a fourth attempt.  First attempt was not much more than a smear, second better, third better yet, etc.  

The nebula image was much easier ... basically immediately, but had learned a lot from the let's-try-to-take-a-picture-of-Saturn experience. 

Again, here are the techy details, from an earlier note, on the images...

---------------- snip ------------------------------- <<...>> <<...>> 

....    Recently, I got my first amateur images of the nebula in Orion and also of Saturn.  

The Saturn pics happened about six weeks ago, when the planet was painfully low to the horizon ... basically just above my neighbour's roof.   Not the best angle for these kinds of photos, I am sure.

For that one, I used a Neximage 5 camera, through a Celestron 925.  Registax software was also part of that equation.   On Saturn pic #4, I am pretty sure I can see the shadow of the rings on the planet and then, behind the planet, the shadow of the planet on the rings.  (I note that the shadow of the rings DOES NOT show up on all computer screens, but does show up strongly on my small-screen, liquid crystal smart phone).  

The nebula image was captured through the same scope, but using a Canon EOS T5i digital camera.   I got two "acceptable to me" images of the nebula within seconds of each other, about three or four weeks ago, about 5 a.m.     ISO was set to 12800 and the exposures were 4-seconds and 6 seconds.    Not bad for a rookie, I guess, but the fantastic surprise was that when I looked at the two nebula images, one of them had what looks like a satellite track streaking across one section of it.   All in all, a very cool coincidence...

--------------- snip ---------------------------------------

Anyhow ... there they are.  

Made lots of mistakes struggling with everything to get these images (which, I know, are poor compared to many others) buuuuuut, they are watershed images for me, as I have never really ever taken images like these, using the required technology.  (My Comet Hale-Bopp images from the 1990s were more easily taken, using just a camera, long lens and a good tripod). 

Bottom line here seems to be that every time I try this stuff, the results get a bit better.  If not, what seems to happen is that I learn what more I need to learn to get to the next level.  This is what it is all about for me. 

 

All very satisfying. 

Cheers

Jeff

Hi, Klaas...

The Canon XSi is a very good camera for astrophotography.  It has a number of features that make it good, but the biggest one is called Live View, where you can see on the small screen at the back of the camera precisely what the camera is looking at.  You can zoom in, too, which allows you to properly focus the camera.

If you get this camera, I'd suggest that you go to Andy Blanchards "Astrophotography Nights" at the Observatory on the last Thursday of the month (except for December).  If you want to take great pictures, it helps to learn from a great photographer.

I hope this helps, Klaas.

Roger

Hi Andy,

Thanks so very much for your emails.

Within three hours of our earlier communication I learned -- much to my
intense frustration -- that I have a cast-in-iron conflict on the night of
your upcoming presentation.

Basically, I cannot get out of the other one -- as much as I wish I could.

Therefore, to my regret, I will now not be able to attend your late-November
presentation. 

However, having now had this particular conflict I am aware that for all
future months I may have the exact same conflict, for the last Thursday of
the month.  Therefore, I will have to find a way of trying to extricate
myself from the other one, in such a way as to successfully sit in your
audience.

By way of background on me, I have been "kicking around" with
astrophotography for a bit.    (Long, long time ago, I used to be a news
photographer and have, basically, kept up a serious but low-level interest
in photography.)     I think my first astro pic was Comet Hale-Bopp, about
20 years ago.    Recently, I got my first amateur images of the nebula in
Orion and also of Saturn.  The Saturn pic happened about six weeks ago, when
the planet was painfully low to the horizon ... basically just above my
neighbour's roof.   Not the best angle for these kinds of photos, I am sure.
For that one, I used a Neximage 5 camera, through a Celestron 925.  Registax
software was also part of that equation.   Pretty sure I can see the shadow
of the rings on the planet and then, behind the planet, the shadow of the
planet on the rings.

The nebula image was captured through the same scope, using a Canon EOS T5i.
I got two "acceptable to me" images of the nebula within seconds of each
other, about three or four weeks ago.    ISO was set to 12800 and the
exposures were 4-seconds and 6 seconds.    Not bad for a rookie, I guess,
but the fantastic surprise was that when I looked at the two nebula images,
one of them had a satellite track streaking across one section of it.   All
in all, a very cool coincidence...

Anyhow .... I look forward to meeting you .... eventually.

Best
Jeff Booth

Message-ID: <006a01d1232d$e1635920$a42a0b60$@cogeco.ca>

Hi again, Andy,

OK, thanks for the request.

I have attached some images to this email.

Now, remember .... I'm just a newbie at this stuff (using cameras with
telescopes and computers, etc.)  ... standing at the beginning of his astro
learning kinda thing ....  

The Saturn image came from a fourth attempt.  First attempt was not much
more than a smear, second better, third better yet, etc.  

The nebula image was much easier ... basically immediately, but had learned
a lot from the let's-try-to-take-a-picture-of-Saturn experience. 

Again, here are the techy details, from an earlier note, on the images...

---------------- snip -------------------------------  


....    Recently, I got my first amateur images of the nebula in Orion and
also of Saturn.  

The Saturn pics happened about six weeks ago, when the planet was painfully
low to the horizon ... basically just above my neighbour's roof.   Not the
best angle for these kinds of photos, I am sure.

For that one, I used a Neximage 5 camera, through a Celestron 925.  Registax
software was also part of that equation.   On Saturn pic #4, I am pretty
sure I can see the shadow of the rings on the planet and then, behind the
planet, the shadow of the planet on the rings.  (I note that the shadow of
the rings DOES NOT show up on all computer screens, but does show up
strongly on my small-screen, liquid crystal smart phone).  

The nebula image was captured through the same scope, but using a Canon EOS
T5i digital camera.   I got two "acceptable to me" images of the nebula
within seconds of each other, about three or four weeks ago, about 5 a.m.
ISO was set to 12800 and the exposures were 4-seconds and 6 seconds.    Not
bad for a rookie, I guess, but the fantastic surprise was that when I looked
at the two nebula images, one of them had what looks like a satellite track
streaking across one section of it.   All in all, a very cool coincidence...

--------------- snip ---------------------------------------

Anyhow ... there they are.  

Made lots of mistakes struggling with everything to get these images (which,
I know, are poor compared to many others) buuuuuut, they are watershed
images for me, as I have never really ever taken images like these, using
the required technology.  (My Comet Hale-Bopp images from the 1990s were
more easily taken, using just a camera, long lens and a good tripod). 

Bottom line here seems to be that every time I try this stuff, the results
get a bit better.  If not, what seems to happen is that I learn what more I
need to learn to get to the next level.  This is what it is all about for
me. 

All very satisfying. 



Cheers
Jeff

Cool … all very welcome….

 

Thank you again…

 

Apart from the satellite in the M42 exposure, I was amazed to actually see the colours … never expected that.
